Obi: defection of APGA members worrisome

Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has described the defection of All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) members to other parties as worrisome.

He was fielding questions from reporters yesterday at the inauguration of a prayer ground he built in memory of the four children of Mr. Emmanuel Obiekwe in Awka-Etiti, Anambra State.

Obi said the development in APGA called for reflection on the part of party faithful on the way forward for the party.

He, however, said the defectors, just like every other person, had a right to personal decisions about their political future or any other endeavour.

On why he refused to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) even at the risk of losing a ministerial appointment, the ex-Anambra State governor declined comment. But he later said he was not desperate for an appointment and would not therefore act or take any decision contrary to his belief.

He said he would continue to be guided by service to humanity rather than personal gain.
